I haven't experienced this on CD1, this is the beginning of CD2.



traffic doesn't show but still exists


can press A to initiate the "get on the bus" animation

and get stuck forever


NPCs randomly disappear until complete depopulation of the zone







Reloading the area does fix the problem, but It usually takes 20-30 sec for the game to eat all the people again.


I've tried several Nulldc builds and customized every setting I could think of, without success.
I haven't been able to try a different shenmue 1 undubbed release, like the one at theisozone, because unfortunately the download link seems to be broken.

Any help is appreciated, thank you !


Edit: Same issue on Demul. Could it be iso related ?

This is strange I've played shenmue, usa, pal, jap on different emulators and I've never faced such thing, it must be iso related, yes.

I've finally manage to download sm1th release (via torrent) (googled "Shenmue.Undub-RDC.7z")

Saved game from Kogami release was compatible and, for the moment, problems are gone

Odd but kind of funny.
Its not too hard to recreate this kind of wasteland mode in the game.
I wonder what happened in Kogami's release that would cause this.

Also having these same problems of NPC dissapearing in disk 2
Disk 1 was totally perfect, disk 2 as soon as I get to the harbour from a new disk file, there are no NPC loaded so the cutscene does not load with the goro fight, the screen goes to black but ryo keeps running and thats it.

I used the PAL version to pass this point, and come back to the harbour and some times NPC are there, sometimes not or they dissapear after going to certain areas, like the mad angels warehouse door, after returning the npc are gone
if you use a door that does not re load the area it will hang, same if you use a vending or coke machine.

I appreciate the product is distributed AS IS, but just like to share the info for anyone starting out as a warning to the experience, expect bugs lol.

using win7 high spec rig ssd i7 ect ect
